Re: venni vetti vecci - Monty Python!

Post by davej »

I like it, I like it alot. Have not seen that episode of Monty Python. Caesar had plenty of time to die, I think they stabbed him about 70 times with small daggers. Nasty stuff. As I mentioned before it was the done thing to say something smart when dying. So Kai Su Teknon was pretty cool. I don' t believe he said vrute or Brute for that matter. Brutus knew who he meant. Caesar had had a long affair with his mum and had age not been against her may have married her. Brutus was like Caesar son. Enough, Enough Back to Alexander. Sorry if I was a bit short the other day in my posting. I was a bit cranky pants with work.

Sorry, Yiannis, you did indeed ask that.I haven't seen any of the Python films for ages, but I assume it's "Life of Brian" - can't think of any other one that has an execution in it!Marcus

It's Baron Minchauzen and come to think about it's not all the Python members that are participating. So technically it's not a "real" Monty Python movie!regards,

Ah, Yiannis, you got me there. But it certainly isn't a Python film, although it was directed by Terry Gilliam and Eric Idle was in it.People also tend to think that "Jabberwocky" is a Python film because Gilliam directed it, Michael Palin starred in it, and Terry Jones is in it, too (and I think he co-wrote it). Same goes for Time Bandits...Anyway, that's rather off the point, isn't it? :-) Back, as Nick would say, to Alexander...All the bestMarcus
